FLORIDA ORANGE FRITTERS. Peel and slice two or three oranges, about quarter of an inch thick, and remove the seeds, taking care not to break the slices or squeeze out the juice; put a frying-kettle over the fire, with enough fat to half fill it, and let the fat get smoking hot; put a cup of flour into a bowl with the yolk of a raw egg, a level teaspoon of salt and a tablespoon of good olive oil; mix these ingredients smoothly together, then gradually stir in enough water to make a batter thick enough to hold a drop let fall from the mixing spoon; beat the white of the egg
